Tropical Landscaping - PDF ebook

A tropical garden might be defined simply as any garden in a tropical climate, but there is more than just one way of looking at a tropical garden.

While most people think of the garden mainly in terms of
plants, there are a range of other components that make up an attractive,
functional garden. These include fixed
structures, such as paths, garden buildings, beds, water and fences and
moveable structures such as garden furniture and statuary. A well designed
garden is a combination of these carefully selected components, chosen for
aesthetics as well as durability.

There could hardly be anything more idyllic than to be in a tropical garden, relaxing, reading a book, or having a cool drink with friends. Some tropical gardens are wonderful to look at, with their bright foliage and flower colors and unique contrasts in shape and form.

The Tropical Landscaping ebook will help you design and develop a lush tropical landscape or even help people create the 'sense of a tropical landscape' within a temperate climate.
